Folding Waves
synopsis.
In bedrooms and on couches. Late at night and in the early hours of the morning. Strangers, acquaintances and casual flings open up to each other – revealing their most private, occasionally uplifting, sometimes shameful parts of themselves in the fleeting intimacy after a sexual encounter. Skin to Skin is an experimental documentary exploring the beautifully messy relationship between intimacy and LGBTQ+ hook-up culture.
Directed by award-winning directing duo LUNA, the film is a dreamy, kaleidoscopic journey into the real lives and stories of Ireland’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community.
